Price Upon Request

At The Second Hand Club, we are proud to offer the Patek Philippe Chronograph Ref. 5070G-001, a landmark collector’s piece that exemplifies Patek Philippe’s dedication to traditional watchmaking and mechanical excellence. Revered as the brand’s first manually wound, in-house chronograph in decades when it debuted in 1998, the 5070 has achieved legendary status—and the white gold 5070G with its elegant white dial remains one of the most refined and sought-after versions.

Crafted in 18k white gold, the 5070G-001 features a clean white dial with applied white gold numerals, a tachymeter scale, and symmetrically placed chronograph sub-dials that enhance both functionality and visual balance. Its 42mm case, with bold stepped lugs and a flat bezel, evokes the aesthetic of vintage Patek chronographs while offering modern wrist presence.

Powering the watch is the manual-winding Caliber CH 27-70, a movement based on the Lemania ébauche and extensively reworked and finished by Patek Philippe. With its column-wheel architecture, horizontal clutch, and exceptional finishing—visible through the sapphire caseback—it stands as one of the most revered chronograph movements in haute horlogerie. The 5070G-001 is not only a watch, but a symbol of Patek Philippe’s mastery of timeless chronograph design.

About the brand

In the bustling heart of Geneva in 1839, two visionaries, Antoine Norbert de Patek, a Polish soldier, and François Czapek, a Czech watchmaker, came together to create what would become one of the most prestigious watch brands in history: Patek Philippe.

From its inception, Patek Philippe was driven by a commitment to craft timepieces of unparalleled quality and artistry. Patek, the businessman with a flair for networking, and Czapek, with his horological prowess, initially named their venture "Patek, Czapek & Cie”. However, the partnership saw a split in 1845, leading to Patek's collaboration with the French watchmaker, Jean Adrien Philippe. This new alliance was the dawn of the Patek Philippe brand as we know it.

One of their initial groundbreaking innovations was the keyless winding mechanism, introduced by Jean Adrien Philippe, which revolutionized the industry. This innovation solidified their position as pioneers in the watchmaking realm, emphasizing both functionality and form.

As the decades passed, the brand became synonymous with excellence, attracting royalty and luminaries, including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. With clientele of such stature, it was clear that Patek Philippe was not just producing watches; they were creating heirlooms.

Throughout the 20th century, Patek Philippe continued to be at the forefront of horological advancements. From pioneering the perpetual calendar, split-seconds hand, and chronograph functions to the more recent advancements like the Gyromax balance and Spiromax balance spring, their innovations have often been years ahead of the competition.

Beyond their technical achievements, Patek Philippe is revered for the artistry of their timepieces. Their watches are not just tools of timekeeping but pieces of art. The brand’s dedication to traditional hand-finishing and their insistence on using age-old decorative techniques ensures each watch is a unique masterpiece.

The Patek Philippe Museum, established in Geneva in 2001, is a testament to the brand's commitment to its legacy. Housing a collection of horological artifacts, it is both a homage to the brand’s illustrious past and a beacon for its future aspirations.

But what truly sets Patek Philippe apart is its philosophy. Rooted in family values (the company remains family-owned to this day), there's an understanding that when someone acquires a Patek Philippe, they're merely taking care of it for the next generation. This sentiment is encapsulated in their famous slogan: "You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation."

Today, as the world moves at an unprecedented pace, Patek Philippe stands as a testament to the enduring allure of craftsmanship, precision, and timeless elegance. In an era where obsolescence is the norm, the brand remains a beacon of permanence, reminding us of the beauty of legacy and the value of time.

About the watch

Presenting the Patek Philippe Reference 5070G: An Epitome of Luxury and Elegance

In 1998, the horological world was graced with the unveiling of the Patek Philippe Reference 5070, a direct heir to the iconic reference 1463 which ceased production in the nostalgic 1960s. Even though these models are separated by four decades, their lineage is undeniably intertwined. Both stand as paramount examples of timeless chronographs, void of calendar complications – a rare treat in the universe of Patek Philippe.

From its inception in 1998 until 2002, the Reference 5070 was exclusively adorned in yellow gold. But the piece showcased here, crafted in the finest white gold, commenced its limited production journey from 2002, continuing the legacy till 2008.

The dial is a masterwork of elegance – a silver canvas emboldened by contrasting black lettering and luxurious applied Arabic numerals. Dual sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock elevate its stature. The minute and tachymeter scales gracefully trace the dial's periphery, ensuring optimal clarity under varying luminosities. This dial, preserved meticulously, resonates with opulence.

Its case, carved out of 18-carat solid white gold and spanning a refined 42mm, epitomizes understated luxury. The slender case depth of 11.5mm ensures it doesn't overpower but instead compliments the wrist with grace. With its sculpted lugs and the tasteful integration of rectangular pushers and a harmonious winding crown, the watch exudes a sophistication only few can parallel. Its impeccable condition, marred only by the faintest traces of wear, testifies to its cherished existence.

At the heart of this masterpiece is the hand-wound caliber CH 27-70. Sheltered behind a sapphire crystal case back, this Lemania-inspired mechanical movement stands tall among the pinnacle of chronograph mechanisms. Significantly, the Reference 5070G is the final sentinel from Patek Philippe to harness the power of a Lemania-driven movement.

This watch's heritage is further accentuated with the accompanying Patek Philippe certificate of origin, bearing witness to its esteemed inception in Hong Kong on February 23, 2006. A genuine black alligator leather strap, bearing the seal "Patek Philippe Genève", effortlessly complements it. The white gold folding clasp, adorned with the iconic Calatrava cross, reaffirms its luxurious identity.

The Patek 5070G isn't just a watch; it's a monumental chapter in Patek Philippe's illustrious chronicle of hand-wound chronographs. An acquisition of this piece isn't just a purchase; it's an embrace of legacy, luxury, and legend.
